Authorities in Oregon and Washington are intensifying their investigation into a series of ballot box fires suspected to have been deliberately set in recent weeks. The Portland Police Bureau announced new details yesterday about the suspected arsonist, believed to be a man between 30 and 40 years old with short or balding hair. Surveillance footage reportedly shows the individual arriving at one of the targeted ballot boxes in a Volvo, further helping authorities narrow down their search. The incidents have so far damaged hundreds of ballots, creating concern among voters and election officials as midterm elections approach.
